Law and order has collapsed in Punjab: Badal

News, Punjab

Bayhinda: The Amarinder Singh government in Punjab has failed on all fronts, including law and order, former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said here today.

"The present Punjab government has failed to achieve anything promised in the manifesto and it seems that the state is being run by the bureaucrats alone," he said.

Badal visited a private hospital here to enquire about the condition of Parminder Singh Kolianwali, who was attacked by some persons at Malout yesterday. Parminder Singh Kolianwali is the son of senior Akali leader Dyal Singh Kolianwali.

"We shall have to resort to some serious steps if the situation in the state does not improve, and shall chalk out plans for dharnas at all district headquarters," Parkash Singh Badal said.

Akali leader Dyal Singh Kolianwali said that he had told the administration that there was a threat to his family and sought security but nobody cared.
